I refuse to hate anyone because of of their race, or religion, or their sexuality. I prefer the purity of hating people because I'm a hateful, embittered ass! In fact, i hate people because it makes me feel better about whstever it is that makes me so hateful!

Seriously--I'm in my 50s, and I remember when we could vehemently disagree with someone, and buy the the next round of beers. The greatest threat to our freedom isn't Islamic terrorists, or right wing wing nuts, or even Gay people and Atheists (or Christians if you're an atheist or what ever!), it's the fact that we no longer seem to believe that we can disagree in good faith and with intellectual and moral integrity.

I took your comment in the spirit it was intended and responded in kind. Unfortunately communication by text lacks the subtleties and finer points of communication face to face. I took no offense from your comment and intended none myself.
